Arsenal enjoyed a 6-point lead at the top of the Premier League following the weekend’s fixtures and are coping well with attacking on 4 different fronts, so a first title since 2004 looks firmly within their grasp. The Gunners have conceded just 17 goals in 25 games and are also full of goals, so while Thursday’s hosts are enjoying an excellent season, it is difficult to see the Bees keeping their London rivals at bay. Mikel Arteta’s side have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 EPL matches and 3 of their last 4 on the road, so there looks a strong chance they will emerge from the Gtech Community Stadium with another shutout, following comfortable wins over Leeds and Sunderland in their last 2 league outings.

Brentford have coped admirably with so much summer upheaval, which saw manager Thomas Frank and key forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa leave the club, but they started the week 7th when many anticipated their top-flight status would be under threat. However, they failed to score at home to Chelsea and Tottenham since the turn of the year and Manchester City also emerged without conceding early in the season. With that in mind, Arsenal to pick up the 3 points and shut out the hosts looks a good bet at plus-money odds.

Manchester City overcame a huge hurdle in the Premier League title race on Sunday, clinching a late winner at Anfield to keep pace with league-leaders Arsenal following the Gunners’ hammering of Sunderland. The Citizens sit 6 points behind Arsenal in the battle for top spot, but they have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 games and should be able to put another 3 points on the board against a Fulham team that has suffered a few poor results of late.

The Cottagers lost for the 3rd time in 4 matches when they played host to Everton on Saturday, with Marco Silva’s side conceding 7 goals in this sequence. They shipped 5 in a 9-goal thriller in the reverse fixture in December to make it 19 successive defeats against Pep Guardiola’s side, and they are expected to leave the Etihad Stadium empty-handed on Wednesday. However, Fulham have found the net in 15 of their last 16 games, including 4 goals against Manchester City in December. The hosts have conceded in their last 3 assignments, so expect Fulham to bag a consolation.

Sunderland fell to an unsurprising defeat at the Emirates on Saturday, losing 3-0 to Arsenal, but the Black Cats have thrived at home this season and should give Liverpool more to think about at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday. Regis Le Bris’ team has earned 26 of their 36 points on home soil this term, giving them the 4th-best home record in the Premier League. They are the only EPL team yet to lose a home fixture, and they look a good-value pick to extend that record on Wednesday.

Liverpool, who lost late to Manchester City on Sunday, have failed to win 6 of their last 10 matches, and their record on the road leaves much to be desired. The defending champions have managed just 4 league victories on their travels and have dropped points in their last 3 road games. The reverse fixture at Anfield ended 1-1, and Sunderland have only lost 1 of their last 4 meetings with Liverpool. Combined with their exceptional home record, this makes a Black Cats double chance offering a solid pick at plus-money odds.
